Abstract

A digital-to-analog (D/A) converter of current segmentation is disclosed. A plurality of current sources are connected in parallel to one another and connected to a load resistance through a plurality of first switches. A second switch is connected in parallel to the first switches and operates oppositely to the first switches. An output impedance compensation resistance is connected in series to the second switch.
